Now a lot of people around the world believe the Earth is spherical because Scientists apparently "proved" this and "have pictures"

obviously this isn't true cause that can easily be manipulated, plus if you look at the Sea you can see where the Earth ends and drops off where you'll fall if you walk up there.

So obviously i think the Earth is flat cause there's already a lot of proof just by looking around.

do you think its flat or spherical? can you prove the Earth is spherical if so?

Why do you think they tell you to close windows sometimes while on a plane?

obviously its because they quickly drive the plane on the other side of the world making you think its spherical

Of course it's not literally perfectly spherical. We'd all be swimming if it were.

The earth is a sphere slightly flattened at the poles. One can point to the curve of the horizon as one indicator of this.

Also, I think this is vaguely relevant: http://outreach.as.utexas.edu/marykay/assignments/eratos1.html

Earth is Toroidal


The reason why the poles are off limit to 'ordinary' people and under strict scrutiny is because they didn't wanted us to know #illuminati

Aurora seen near the poles were actually electromagnetic storms generated by the toroidal rotations, and the rumor that UFO was 'landed' on the poles was actually false, in the middle of the torus was actually stationed an alien base, our intergalactic overlords, and this world we live in is actually artificial planet.

I believe the Earth is flat and infinite in all directions

There are merely several copies of the same cities each time you go past the date-line, so in fact we exist in an infinite amount of places

Don't forget your sunscreen. The sun is much more powerful out there. No need for air though. It's just a myth that the universe is a vacuum.

As long as you are well-protected like the average American...so about 5 guns. I hear there's aliens out there. Nothing must prevent you from saluting the 'Murican flag!

Exactly. I don't want to miss the hourly salute, so I'll be using a flag as my parachute. I'll also be dressed like the Statue of Liberty.

The Earth is definitely NOT flat. Whether it's spherical or not is an argument of semantics. Nonetheless, the world IS round-ish.

Proof #1: When you stand atop a light house and view ships sailing into the horizon, the body of the ship disappears first before the mast does. If the world is flat, there should be no such thing as a horizon, and the ship's body should not disappear before its mast does.

Proof #2: During lunar eclipses, when the moon moves into the Earth's shadows, we can observe that the earth's shadow's edges are round.

Proof #3: the amount of sunlight received at the extreme poles and the equator during both summer and winter are different. This is due to Earth's spherical tilt, which means that the poles during certain times of the year receive no sunlight or only sunlight. Yet, at the equator, the sunrise and sunset times are virtually set for the whole year. This is because the Earth is spherical; if you cut the sphere into different pieces, the circumference of the circle piece near the poles is shorter than the circumference of the circle piece near the equator. If the Earth were flat, there should be no such difference in the amount of sunrise/sunset hours in areas north and south of the equator; all of earth should have the same timezone.

Also, I really hope OP is trolling.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Proof the Earth is round.

Step 1: Go to the ocean.
Step 2: Look out towards the horizon.

Done.

Secondary proof the Earth is round.

Step 1: Go to the ocean.
Step 2: Lie down and watch the sunset.
Step 3: After sunset, stand up, and watch sunset again.

Done.
